Burns - Beltran Press Scores
By Bobby Hunter

Last night at the SECC arena in Glasgow Scotland Raymundo Beltran looked like he came away from his title fight with hometown hero Ricky Burns on the end of a bad decision. My view is that Beltran did deserve to win BUT i don't buy the shouts of a "Massive Robbery". If you want to see a massive robbery please watch fights such as Whitaker-Ramierez 1 in Paris. I had that 118-110 to Whitaker. Thats a shafting by the judges, if you watch the fight just see how Lou Duva reacts.

My card read 114-113 Beltran which equates to 6-6 in rounds but add the extra point Beltran got for the Knockdown in the 8th then you can see how i had him the winner. My card is below and if you read the fight report 2 articles down on this site then you will see how I explained how i scored each round.

I was able to collect 44 press scores for the Burns-Beltran fight. My results show that Beltran must be given a rematch as ALL press members had Beltran winning the fight. For a fight that many has called close, it just shows that Beltran should be new champion right now. I hope whatever happens with Ricky Burns and his broken jaw that he gives Raymundo Beltran a rematch for the title. As mentioned before Team Beltran have been a class act, even when they have saw their fighter denied victory.
